My name is Wiebke Kirchner. Born in Freiberg/Germany, I have lived and worked in Halle (Saale) since 2010. I studied Fine Art at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design Halle, completing my studies in 2016.

My artistic practice is grounded in an engagement with social spaces as well as individual and collective processes of transformation. Collage is my central medium: through the deliberate arrangement of fragments drawn from different contexts and materials, I create works that reflect on interpersonal connections.
Participatory formats are integral to my approach. I create open situations in which the individual perspectives of participants are brought together co-creatively into a shared whole. Since 2016, I have been active in cultural education, designing and leading art mediation projects for a wide range of audiences.

My fellowships include the International Working Grant Kyōto, Japan (2026), awarded by the Art Foundation of Saxony-Anhalt in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut Japan, as well as the International Fellowship Armenia (2018), the Cranach Fellowship of the Cranach Foundation Wittenberg (2019), the Artist-in-Residence Fellowship of the City of Vechta, and the „Kultur ans Netz“ grant of the Investitionsbank Saxony-Anhalt (2023).
My work is shown regularly in Germany and abroad, including at the German Embassy in Yerevan (Armenia), the Art Foundation of Saxony-Anhalt, and the artists‘ associations Walkmühle Wiesbaden and Hase29 Osnabrück.

I am open to collaborations, project inquiries, and feedback. I look forward to hearing from you.
